Default Honda S2000 Homecoming

This event was announced by Chris on S2kCA....... I thought some of you west coast Vintage folks should get a heads up (note it says space is limited):

Much asked for....much anticipated....and finally it's going to happen!

Honda invites all S2000 owners to a first-ever owner appreciation event to occur Saturday, September 8, 2007 at Honda's North American headquarters in Torrance, California. This event, dubbed "Honda S2000 Homecoming" is intended as a "thank you" to all of the enthusiastic fans of this great car, and it represents a great opportunity to get together with S2000 owners from all over the country! (If they make the drive!)

More event details and registration are available at this link:

http://automobiles.honda.com/events-and-sp...homecoming.aspx

Here are the basics:

When: Saturday, September 8, 2007 10:00 am-3:00 pm

Where: American Honda Motor Co., Inc. in Torrance, CA

Who: Only S2000 owners will be admitted in their S2000's. You have to drive it to get in. Obviously only one additional guest per car, no trunk riders...please. Please don't show up in your minivan. I'd rather avoid the scene as you're turned away.

What: Everything is Free. Get to see the S2000 CR before it hits dealer lots. Our large parking lot will also fill up with S2000's of all types as owners arrive, creating possibly one of the biggest gatherings of S2000's in the US, dare I say ever. Lunch will be served (hot dogs, hamburgers, etc..nothing fancy). Some cool giveaways will also occur. We may also have some other cool cars on display!

How: Courtesy of American Honda Motor Co. and my impassioned presentation to management!

The registration website is up and running just this morning. It's not perfect as it was purpose built just for this event. You must use your VIN to register and get further details on the event via email. We will send another email out closer to the event with more details. I'm purposely leaving things a little vague to avoid gate crashers. If you register, you will get all the info you need as we approach the event. Just be sure to use a good email address!!

For those of you out-of-towners, Torrance is just south of LA in an area called the Southbay. Redondo Beach is a 4 mile drive from Honda. Average temperature here is around 75 degrees year-round, and sunny skies are almost guaranteed in September.

Update: on S2ki there's is this thread:

Good news spreads fast. I'd say it's about time Honda recognizes it's US S2000 owners; I know they did it in Japan early on. If I could find someone foolish enough to go with me, I'd be there too.

Hope you guys/gals all have a great time.
Maybe instead of flying out there, Honda should have a simultaneous meet in the West, Mid West, and East. That would cover the entire US and bring out alot more cars.

I agree, we should suggest that!

Yup. Leaving work on 31 August and have to be in San Diego on 9 September (to meet daughter who is doing the MS 50 mile walk). Next stop Half Moon Bay (her home) and back to the Dragon by 20 September then on to S2KCADays and back to work on 2 October. Many, many stops in between.

See the USA in your Chev...Oh wait...in your S2000!
